I drove my mates for the first time recently, having never driven one before.
Standard it was ok, but slow and ran out of puff at the top end quite quickly.
With his Remap (Code:Red) it was alot better! It's never going to set the world alight, but I think for a point to point car, its very good, and that 5cyl lump does sound good!
Only thing I didnt like is that it seemed to be very skittish on back roads. I didnt feel 100% confident in it. The roads I was driving I would've chucked my old Octavia vRS around on no problems, but I only felt I could push to 90% in the ST.
